There’s a common misconception in our society that we need to eat protein at every single meal. I beg to differ. Protein in one or two meals a day is plenty in my book. In fact, the American society is the only one I know of that makes dinner the heaviest meal of the day – everyone else eats heaviest at lunch so that they have the rest of the day to digest.

Chad loves the paleo diet. He likes how it makes him feel and that he’s been able to lose a significant amount of weight on it. He purchased a paleo granola and this is my attempt at re-creating it. It really is delicious – if I do say so myself! For those with IBD, if you’re in a flare up then don’t eat this since the small nuts and seeds won’t do well with your colon. Otherwise, everyone should chew well and enjoy! Read more »

Do you know about the dirty dozen list of fruits and vegetables? It’s a list that shows which foods should be bought organic due to the harmful pesticides that seep into the food. If you don’t know about this list then I highly suggest you do some research because these foods are the most effected by pesticides and should be bought organic every single time. Hu Kitchen – one of my favorite restaurants in NYC – is doing a fantastic challenge. If you memorize the list of dirty dozen fruits and veggies and recite it back to them they will give you 15% off your entire purchase for 1 entire month! That’s genius! If you already know the list then you should just go to Hu, recite it and get your 15%. If not, then learn it and enjoy your discount. What a great way to get people in the know about what should be organic.

“Earlier this year I conferenced with Shira on the phone and what a relief it was to finally talk to someone who understood what was going on with my stomach! In desperation and in determination not to use prescription or over the counter medication, I did an Internet search for someone who could teach me meditation, yoga and address my stomach ails. I didn’t think I would find someone who could address all three, but I did! Shira was perfect for what I needed. She taught me in a simple and doable way, how to relax my body (particularly my stomach) through breathing and meditation and how to incorporate yoga into my daily routines. I couldn’t believe that I finally was able to quiet my mind and do some simple, but very effective yoga asanas everyday and feel so good afterwards.

I had been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and GERD and was to take “the little purple pill.” With Shira’s guidance and dietary suggestions (she took the time to research and email me her findings) I did not have to resort to taking any medicine, Instead I did what she suggested and now my condition is under control with the added perk of knowing what to do when I feel a flare up coming.

I sincerely believe that the universe guided me to Shira and I all the better for it. It isn’t often that we encounter people who genuinely care and whose energy fills you with peace when you are in their presence.

If you are looking for someone with patience, understanding and knowledge on how to deal with stress Shira is the one to reach out to. If you want to improve your quality of life, Shira is the one to seek out. You will be so grateful that you did.”— MP, Tappan, NY
